New addition coming to St. FX Erin McCracken Erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new $6.9-million addition will be built at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South over the next year to address booming student enrolment.

The 30-classroom addition is the needed next step before Ottawa Catholic School Board officials set their sights on constructing a second high school in the growing south Ottawa suburb.

“We have big numbers,” said Fred Chrystal, the board’s superintendent of facilities and planning.

Two of the bank robberies were in the 1900-block of Ogilvie Road, two were in the 1100-block of Bank Street and one was in the 2200-block of Bank Street.

The stolen vehicles included car thefts that allegedly happened from Brittany Dr., Riverside Dr., Montreal Rd., Bank St., Michael St., Somerset St. West, Trim Rd., Kristen Way and Baseline Rd. The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 16.

In each bank robbery, it was a lone suspect, making a verbal request for cash.

On May 2 at 6:15 a.m., a uniformed officer saw one of the stolen vehicles around Ogilvie and Montreal roads.

He tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled west along Montreal Road.

Police said he ran red lights and drove into oncoming traffic, so police stopped their pursuit.

They later recovered the vehicle on St. Laurent Boulevard.

New playground makes fun accessible for all

Look inside for the

to begin plans for the park.

A successful Ontario Trillium Foundation grant application provided another $50,000 towards the project and another $15,000 came from the Community Foundation of Ottawa.

The park, nearing completion now with the imminent installation of a sandbox, has structures suitable for children of varying abilities.

“The idea was to be as accessible as possible,” Hillier said, “because some of these kids don’t get the chance to play at other parks. We want everyone to be able to play and have a good time.”

In Your Community Newspaper*

Kelly McCarthy kmccarthy@metroland.com

Kids of all abilities have a new playground to enjoy at the Ottawa Rotary Home.

Located at 823 Rotary Way, the $100,000 park is equipped with several fully-accessible structures to make play easy and fun for children – regardless of their abilities.

“To everyone – thank you for your help,” said John Lark,

chair of the Ottawa Rotary Home’s board of directors to those gathered at the park’s opening on Wednesday, Aug. 3. “You’ve made a thousand days more fun for hundreds of children.”

The park was made possible thanks in part to the generous donation of the Halpennys, who have been big supporters of the Ottawa Rotary Home since its inception. When Suzanne Halpenny’s husband,

Keith, passed away in 2014, the home received more than $10,000 in memorial donations in his name.

“That’s what got the ball rolling,” said Chloe Hiller, director of development with the Ottawa Rotary Home.

“We wanted to do something fun that all of the kids would enjoy.”

Suzanne Halpenny matched the memorial donations, creating the seed money necessary

#OttBike – Know the Law

Staff

The Highway Traffic Act (HTA) requires Ontario bicycles to have a bell and anyone under 18 must wear an approved helmet.

Cycling before and after daylight will require reflective tape and lights on your bike. Requirements for bikes and cyclists include carrying a lighted lamp displaying a white or amber light on its front and a lighted lamp displaying a red light or a reflector on its rear, and in addition white reflective material shall be placed on its front forks, and red reflective material covering a surface of not less than 250 millimetres in length and 25 millimetres in width shall be placed on its rear. Helmets are required for cyclists under the age of 18. For more information, visit www.mto.gov.on.ca.

On a sweltering day that could rival anything felt in South America, Brooke Henderson was given a swinging send-off Aug. 5 in south Ottawa before heading to Rio where she will represent Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

The 18-year-old Smiths Falls native was feted throughout the day at the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club, a day that featured a luncheon, fundraising golf tournament in support of her and sister Brittany’s charitable foundation for junior golf in Canada and an evening banquet.

Henderson has enjoyed a phenomenal first full season on the LPGA Tour. She won her first major, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June, then followed that up with a successful defence of her title at the Cambia Portland Classic.

“It’s really been an incredible journey,” she said Aug. 5. “I’ve recently become a member at the Ottawa Hunt Club here and having a day like this with all of the support is really incredible and it kind of gives me chills in a way.”

Addition needed before second Catholic high school can be built Number of students in area keeps on growing Continued from page 1

Any day now construction is expected to begin on the three-storey addition at the northeast side of the current three-storey high school, located at 3740 Spratt Rd. It’s expected to be open and ready for September 2017.

Plans to construct the addition are moving quickly.

The attached addition will feature about 3,950 square metres of space and will include science, art and multipurpose classrooms.

The plans also call a landscaped courtyard, 77 new parking spaces for a total of 282 spots, and 90 additional bicycle parking spots for a grand total of 135.

APPROVAL

The school board recently received approval for the project’s site plan and was recently waiting for a building permit.

“The builder is ready to go,” Chrystal said. “It’s great news.

“We’re very pleased the government has recognized the need here. We appreciate their support.”

In the meantime, growth continues. The school board is projecting to see 1,826 students enrol this September in grades seven to 12.

That’s up 139 over last year, 1,687 students were

“The builder is ready to go. It’s great news.

We’re very pleased the government has recognized the need here. We appreciate their support.”

FRED CHRYSTAL, BOARD SUPERINTENDENT OF FACILITIES AND PLANNING

enrolled, most of them in grades nine to 12. To accommodate the boom, six portables will be moved in for this September, bringing the total to 32 portables.

Some of those will be removed after the new addition opens and after the enrolment numbers will be known for that academic year, said Crystal.

The growth will only continue.

The student population at St. FX is projected to grow up to 2,040 students by the year 2020.

That means it will be 121 per cent full even with the new addition, Chrystal said, but added that doesn’t mean every classroom will be full every period of the day.

However, without an addition St. FX would be overflowing at 161 per cent.

“It is full and as it continues like that at some point we will be looking to build another high school in the area,” said Chrystal, but noted that even with a growing student body, Riverside South’s population hasn’t grown as fast as board offi-

cials anticipated in comparison to Barrhaven.

Plans for the construction of the second Catholic high school don’t yet include a finalized timeline. “(With) the funding model, we have to have the enrolment on the ground to warrant the justification for whether it’s a new school or whether it’s a new addition,” Chrystal said.

OTTAWA CATHOLIC SCHOOL BOARD/SUBMITTED

Construction is expected to begin any day now on a new 30-classroom addition at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South. It is schedule to be opened in time “Because we’re all being for classes in September 2017.

MONEY SQUEEZE

squeezed for money these days we have to be very cognizant of the operational costs of new buildings,” he said, adding that staffing and maintenance costs must also be considered.

The new school would offer grades seven to 12, and would also serve Findlay Creek, which currently doesn’t have a Catholic high school or elementary school.

However, the school board has applied again for funding to build an elementary school and has put that new school at the top of its priority list, said Chrystal.

Heatherington community kitchen step closer to reality Coun. Deans looking to form community garden advisory group Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

It’s not yet time for Albion, Heatherington and Fairlea residents to dig out their recipes, but the city’s first community kitchen is a few steps closer to becoming reality.

A small number of residents got a first glimpse of the design for the space, which will be constructed as an addition on the west side of the Albion-Heatherington Community Centre, during a public consultation meeting in mid-July.

The images show a well-lit modern interior with all the traditional elements of an industrial-scale kitchen, but also work stations for about 12 people that can be moved around depending on the needs of groups that use the space to cook, learn, eat and celebrate.

“The goal of the meeting was to go over the preliminary designs and make sure

that the direction we’re headed in is something that the community wants and that the community agrees on,” Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans said, adding that the plans were well received by the 10 people who attended the meeting.

Next steps include having the project details finalized by the city planner working on the file and the architect from Barry J. Hobin & Associates Architects, who will also ensure the plans are in line with the budget. Meetings with staff will be held to discuss programs that will be offered at the 91-squaremetre kitchen.

While there is an early vision for the types of programming that would be offered, it’s hoped residents will provide ideas, said Deans, who has also been speaking with people about food security issues.

“I really want to link in with them to talk about how

we get the most value out of this coveted space,” she said.

Deans is hoping to secure funding to construct a community garden in the neighbourhood, which would serve as a source of food that can be prepared in the new kitchen, provide fresh produce for residents and serve as an important learning opportunity.

“Ultimately the goal would be to be able to teach people how to grow food and prepare food,” she said. “I’m hoping to have the construction of the community garden coincide with the kitchen as much as possible.”

She is working to bring together a group of people to work on that project and apply for a grant from Just Food, an Ottawa-based notfor-profit organization that works on community-based food, gardening and agricultural projects, among others.

This architectural rendering offers the vision for the interior of the future community kitchen that will be constructed at the Albion-Heatherington Community Centre, where residents of all ages from the Albion, Heatherington and Fairlea neighbourhoods will be able to gather for cooking classes and community events. things,” Deans said, referring to the city’s first wood-burning outdoor oven that was built in Bayshore Park in the west end of the city in 2014.

“Ultimately if we could get a sponsor we could get a bake oven as well so you could do some community events baking pizzas in an outdoor oven,” she said.

expressed interest, but Deans said more outreach is needed to connect with a larger number of people in the Albion, Heatherington and Fairlea neighbourhoods.

There may be more to the vision than the kitchen and garden.

“There’s lots of opportunity to try some unique

“You start dreaming and then you dream even bigger.”

Having both a community kitchen and garden would be complementary and provide enormous long-term benefits.

“I’d like to have this as a real model for bringing people of different cultures together to learn about different foods and different ways of preparing foods and growing foods,” said Deans.

“I think it can be a real catalyst for community building in that neighbourhood.”

The timelines for the $800,000 kitchen have not yet been confirmed, but under Canada 150 guidelines, which is where a portion of the funding is coming from, it must be completed by March 2018.

The tentative schedule includes having all the permits and applications approved this winter and then early next year go to tender.

“Construction would occur during the summer, fall, winter of 2017 and then perhaps some work might trickle into early 2018,” Deans said.

With interest, I read this article.

The fact that someone dies a drug-related death almost every week in Ottawa and that many more end up in hospital spells out the need, loud and clear, for safe-injection sites (SIS). And these numbers may very well be an underestimation as there are no rigorous surveillance mechanisms in place, as yet.

Overdose victims transcend all economic and social groups, not only poor, homeless and marginalized individuals. For far too long illicit drug use has been associated solely with these latter individuals. Stigmatization and discrimination at its worst!

There are more than 90 SIS worldwide, including in Australia, Germany, Norway, Spain and Switzerland.

It is absolutely critical that Ottawa, like Vancouver and Montreal and soon Toronto, get on board and support supervised injection sites. It is the right thing to do. We simply cannot ignore the scientific evidence. The issue at hand is public health, not politics.

And the evidence speaks for itself.

In December 2008, the Atlantic City Police Department supported that city’s then new needle exchange program primarily because it reduced the odds their members will be exposed to HIV infection in their work.

All U.S states now have needle exchange programs.

For the record, in September 2014, Canada’s first sanctioned supervised injection site, InSite, celebrated over 10 years of servicing the Downtown Eastside Community in Vancouver: 10 years, two million visitors, and no deaths. InSite, which opened in 2003, runs every day for 18 hours.

Approximately 800 people use the booths each day. Based on the scientific evidence the Vancouver Police Department has supported and continues to support this harm reduction program.

This program certainly does not foster criminal activity.

A four-year feasibility study by researchers at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital and University of Toronto recommended in 2012 that Ottawa and Toronto open up supervised injection sites. On July 2, 2014, the-

‘It is about time the mayor and council follow the leadership of the medical officer of health, Dr. Isra Levy, and take the lead on this very important public health initiative and get the job done. The time has passed to politicize the tragedy of drug addiction.Leadership and science over politics.’

Toronto Board of Health urged the City of Toronto to open up supervised injection sites based on research from Vancouver and other countries that show these sites are effective in reducing drug overdoses and reducing the risk of disease transmission.

Politics aside, it is about time policies affecting health and safety conform with science. It’s called de-politicizing health. It is

Hazy pot rules becoming a joke

T

he organic growth of the pot dispensary business across Canada has almost been laughable — almost.

We know how this happened, but it shouldn’t have.

The majority of Canadians over recent years have clearly indicated through public opinion polls that they are fine with legal marijuana, and not just for medicinal purposes. The new federal Liberal government campaigned on making pot legal, and says it will do so next year.

And in that opening rushed in the clowns.

These dispensaries, some of which admittedly seem to be more medicinal focused than some others that come across as glorified head shops, are popping up like weeds across the country and in Ottawa.

One of the newest, which seems to be one of those more attuned to the medical angle of the emerging above ground pot trade, is opening up in Stittsville and the local councillor is not amused.

Coun. Shad Qadri says he’ll be watching the new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his com-

munity on Iber Road.

He says it’s within walking distance of four schools, there was no public consultation about the facility prior to setting up shop, that it hasn’t gone through a zoning process and, by the way, it’s illegal.

That’s a pretty damning list of objections, and on all counts Qadri is right. The store’s owner told Metroland Media at an open house that he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey area. He said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana.

But the fact is that at this time there is no legal grey area when it comes to opening a business selling pot, for whatever reason, to the public. That is still illegal, and the rush to open these is like a low-tech Uber attack on local government’s ability to maintain order. In this “legal grey area� is it silly to enforce minor pot possession cases in light of the pending legalization? Perhaps.

But there is nothing hazy about the blossoming of a full-scale pot store industry in the meantime. It is out of control, and these rogue operations should be nipped in the bud.

Marijuana and the legal grey area

I

love my neighbourhood.

I can be in nature in two minutes, launch my kayak on the Ottawa River, buy fresh bread at the bakery, I can get my licence renewed at the Ministry office, and now I can buy pot.

It was only a matter of time.

Within the last few weeks, a marijuana dispensary has opened in my residential Ottawa neighbourhood. I happened to run by it one morning, on my usual route through houses and past the local elementary school.

Yes, the dispensary is a block from a school and a few doors down from a music studio that caters to children. But, last time I checked, it’s illegal to sell marijuana. On June 30, a joint statement from federal ministers of justice, public safety and health on the establishment of a task force to legalize and regulate marijuana noted the following: “The posses-

sion, production, and trafficking of marijuana remains illegal.

This includes storefronts selling marijuana, commonly known as ‘dispensaries’ and ‘compassion clubs.� And yet, dispensaries are showing up everywhere.

Why aren’t we shutting these things down?

Personally, I don’t see the point in legalizing marijuana. I see the benefit of it for medicinal purposes in a controlled way.

Otherwise, I prefer marijuana as a socially unacceptable drug. I don’t want my kids using it. I don’t want them to think it’s a socially acceptable habit. I prophesize that

governments will try to revoke legalization 20 years from now when they realize that marijuana is a public health burden comparable to alcohol or smoking.

I also realize I’m in the minority on this one. The majority of Canadians support the legalization of marijuana. A poll of 1,000 people conducted by The Globe and Mail and Nanos in February found 68 per cent of Canadians support legalization. In Ontario, more than 70 per cent support legalization, while British Columbians are 75 per cent in favour of legalized pot.

Most of those polled believe weed should be sold at marijuana dispensaries, similar to the ones emerging in neighbourhoods across the country, except regulated. Even me, in my conservative stance, could accept this. But why are we allowing illegal shops to operate in the absence of laws?

There seems to be little, if any, appetite among local officials to shut down these places, which are emerging rapidly in urban centres and residential neighbourhoods across the country In Vancouver, it’s rumoured there are more pot shops than coffee shops. The city has placed restrictions on locations near vulnerable populations, but not much else. In Toronto, a raid of 47 dispensaries in May and June led to the arrest of 90 people. Police laid more than 250 criminal charges, including possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and 71 proceeds of crime, yet some of the raided locations simply reopened the following morning.

And despite the opening of up to eight dispensaries in Ottawa in recent weeks, the police have yet to take any significant action.

Marijuana is illegal. City councillors, the mayor and local police should be doing everything in their authority to shut these dispensaries down permanently.

operate is not in the same realm of regulatory safety as eventual legalization.

Don’t take my word for it. The federal government has said in the absence of legislation, “decriminalization would not provide any regulatory control over the quality and safety of ... marijuana, and would not help keep marijuana out of the hands of youth.� Let’s be smart. Shut the crooks down.

Paramedics praise bystanders for helping heart attack victim CPR and defibrillator used before paramedics arrived Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Paramedics are applauding patrons of the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre’s hockey arena for their quick response to a potentially life threatening situation on Aug. 2.

A 66-year-old man was playing hockey at the arena that afternoon when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

Teammates quickly performed CPR on the man, while another patron of the arena successfully applied an automatic external defibrillator.

Paramedics were called and responded, and by the time they arrived, the man was conscious and talking.

Advanced care paramedics treated the man and transported him to the Ottawa Hospital’s general campus in serious but stable condition.

Paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier praised the bystanders for their intervention, saying that the intervention likely

played a significant role in the man’s survival and recovery.

“Even though we got there fairly quickly, it’s always crucial that bystanders follow what we call the chain of survival,” Trottier said. “And that was followed extremely quickly, which increases the chance of survival very well.”

Trottier explained that the chain of survival is a set of critical actions necessary to treat life-threatening emergencies.

Those steps include early contact with 9-1-1 dispatch, early intervention with CPR, access to and use of an automatic external defibrillator and the arrival of paramedics.

“All of those occurred extremely quickly, very well prior to us arriving it seemed,” Trottier said. “And certainly that increases the chance of us restarting the heart with medication.

It increases it tremendously. So it’s absolutely crucial, the intervention prior to our arrival.”

The defibrillator used at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre

is one of 1,000 installed across the city through the Ottawa Paramedic Public Access Defibrillator program, Trottier said.

He explained that, through the program, defibrillators are located in libraries, community centres, arenas, police vehicles, private businesses and organizations, ready to use in case of a medical emergency.

And those 1,000 are only the units currently registered with the program.

Trottier said in recent years more and more unregistered – but still potentially lifesaving – defibrillators have begun to show up at shops, clinics and other private businesses in Ottawa.

“What we don’t know is how many machines are in public hands,” Trottier said. “So we’re seeing a lot more medical offices, dental offices, private companies like insurance companies, stores and so forth having AEDs on site. So it is a lot more popular than it was just a few years ago.”

Ottawa police Const.

Marc Soucy said the selection is in line with the time of year, the public’s priorities and also traffic issues.

“We try to target specific incidents that are specific to the time of the year and the concerns of Ottawa,” Soucy said.

In July, STEP focused on cycling safety and red light running. June’s focus was pedestrian safety and construction zones. School bus safety will be the focus in September.

Soucy said there continues to be quite a lot of confusion

over what drivers are supposed to be doing as they approach a roundabout and how to manoeuvre through it.

He said police are encouraging drivers to watch out for signs that signal which lane to be in heading into the intersection.

“Most of them have pretty large signs explaining which lane you should be in if you wish to continue straight or turn or so on,” he said.

calls the fatal four – impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding and seatbelts. The concern about roundabout safety is a newer addition.

“Depending on the topic, we’ve had very good success.

In others, much like distracted driving, we continue to see that any given day when staff go out and do enforcement there are really far too many people doing it,” Wilkinson said.

“Impaired driving is always a concern.”

In the 2015 police annual report, criminal code traffic offences were up 1.7 per cent over 2104. That’s attributed to an increase in impaired operation offences (two per cent) and Dangerous Operation of motor Vehicle (nine per cent), provincial traffic offences were down none per cent. Fatal collisions were down 29 per cent, with 17 in 2015 and fatalities were down 24 per cent to 19.

Those statistics are in line with a general downward trend in traffic fatalities, Wilkinson said. A decrease, he attributes, in part to education programs, as well as enforcement and changes in vehicle technology.

Wilkinson said police know traffic concerns remain top of mind for residents, as seen in a recent public survey.

“There’s a tremendous appetite for the Ottawa Police Service to move forward and do enforcement, and the model there is to be strategic with that enforcement as well,” he said.

ANNUAL REPORT

CONST. MARC SOUCY

While impaired driving knows no season, Soucy said the focus on it in August stems from the long weekend.

“Impaired driving is always a concern.”

It’s a concern not just on the roads, but also on the waterways.

And police were able to crackdown on impaired boating during a recent blitz.

Ottawa-Gatineau’s Operation Dry Water resulted in 33 liquor licence offences, four roadside tests, two three-day suspensions, three boats removed from the water and one environmental protection act offence. In total, there were 77 Canada Shipping Act offences.

Most of STEP’s targets stem from what Rob Wilkinson, co-ordinator of Safer Roads Ottawa Program,

Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 11, 2016 11

Concerns raised about pot dispensaries springing up in city New service ‘life changing’ for woman suffering from MS Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Coun. Shad Qadri said he will keeping an eye on a new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his community on Iber Road in Stittsville.

Qadri, who is chair of Ottawa’s health board, has publicly opposed the facility, saying he’s not comfortable with its location – within walking distance of four schools.

The owner also didn’t go through the proper channels with the city, according to Qadri, adding he will be putting pressure on police to check the facility out once it opens.

The facility looks like a medical clinic and there’s a three stage screening process before clients are even allowed in the dispensary.

Potential customers have to bring a prescription from their doctor as well as government issued identification

before setting up a patient profile to access the array of marijuana-derived products.

The owner, Franco Vigile, said the facility, one of two he has opened in the west end, is filling a need. Right now, doctors prescribe medical marijuana and the product is shipped from licensed providers – such as Tweed in Smiths Falls.

Margaret Hofsink, a client who suffers from multiple sclerosis, uses marijuana to treat muscle spasm, anxiety, depression and fatigue.

Hofsink said the strain and method of delivery vary throughout the day depending on her needs.

She smokes a high cannabidiol strain in the morning that’s better for inflammation and uses oil and gel caps during the day for pain management. In the evening to increase her appetite and help her sleep, Hofsink said she uses a strain with a higher amount of THC.

Thanks to the Carling Avenue Magna Terra clinic – which is already operating – she said she’s able to work with staff on tailoring her medicine so she’s using less.

Before she came to Magna Terra last month, she said she had to rely on an imperfect mailing system. The product didn’t always arrive on time and it wasn’t always good quality.

Hofsink said allowing Snoop Dogg to acquire part of Tweed now means she unwanted advertising emails about pop culture events.

“I am in it for the medication, not the culture,” she said.

With easy access to the medicine she needs, Hofsink said she has a new lease on life.

It’s those kinds of people Vigile is trying to help, he said, adding that’s why he’s willing to put his neck on the line in advance of licensing.

“Imagine having cancer

and having to wait for your medicine to come in the mail,” the Algonquin grad said.

Qadri stresses that the facility in Stittsville, which starts its service in early August, will be operating illegally.

He said aside from the lack of federal licensing, the area is not zoned for retail.

Qadri said he asked Vigile to hold a public consultation and seek the proper zoning amendments.

“I can’t speak to why he didn’t do that,” Qadri said.

Vigile held an open house for residents at the new Stittsville location on Aug. 2 and 3, but that’s not good enough, Qadri said.

“People who are going to visit the facility are likely already in favour,” Qadri said.

“An open house in an alternative location would have a different mix of perspectives.”

Stittsville Village Community Association president Tanya Hein said while the community association

hasn’t had an official meeting since the opening of the facility was made public, she’s heard opinions on both sides of the issue.

“From my perspective, I think they should wait to operate until they can do so legally,” she said, adding she isn’t concerned about school children accessing the dispensary.

“Kids who want it, will find a way to get pot,” she said.

But Qadri insisted no matter how good the security is, there’s a chance it could be breached.

But Vigile maintains the concerns are unfounded.

Each customer has an electronic profile, that tracks their prescriptions and the strains they’ve purchased in the past.

While he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey area, he said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana.

In the meantime, he will fill the gap.

MARGARET HOFSINK, CLIENT Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, whose ward houses the other Magna Terra facility on Carling Avenue, said there has been little to no communication to his often since the dispensary opened.

“I imagine its location has something to do with that,” Coun. Leiper wrote in an email.

“Carling is an arterial main street and a significant distance from the kinds of facilities and institutions that people might have concerns about in relation to anything related to drugs.”

Embracing all paths that lead their way to pride michelle.nash@metroland.com

At four years-old, Charlie Lowthian-Rickert knew exactly who she wanted to be.

And to make that happen, the first step was to ask for some Barbie dolls and pretty dresses.

And most importantly, for her parents to never cut her hair again.

“I want people to not care what was in my underwear, but how I felt in my heart,” Charlie said.

Charlie was not born a girl, but identifies as one. She said it’s how she has always felt.

“My parents listened, and as you can see, they never cut my hair again,” Charlie said.

The now 10-year-old added she is grateful her parents and family have offered nothing but unconditional love.

“You have to listen to your kids,” said Charlie’s mom, Anne Lowthian.

Lowthian and her husband, Chris Rickert, admitted they were not prepared to have

This will be the first time the Pride parade’s grand marshal will be a child.

Tammy Dopson of Capital Pride said asking Charlie to be the marshal was the easiest decision Capital Pride’s board ever made.

“It just made sense,” Dopson said. “Pride as a platform represents education, positivity and openness and Charlie represents all those things.”

Ottawa’s Capital Pride runs from Aug. 15-21.

for accessible counselling and support and a desire for more inclusive social and healthcare spaces. “It’s not something you choose,” Charlie said.“I listened to my feelings. My inner voice told me I was a girl.”

Charlie, will representing the LGBTQ+ community as this year’s Ottawa Capital Pride grand marshal.

“This is amazing, it’s such an honour,” she said. “Most people are so much older and this means so much.”

Ten year-old Charlie Lowthian-Rickert shares her story on pathtopride.ca. The United Way Ottawa and Ottawa Capital Pride launched the Path to Pride initiative on Aug. 8. their four-year-old son come to them and say he wanted to be referred to as ‘she’, but ultimately Lowthian and Rickert said they just wanted to see their child happy.

“I didn’t know what to think,” Lowthian said. “It was my first experience with anything outside the traditional ‘boy-girl’ we understood. But at the end of the day, it’s amazing what you can learn from

your kids.”

Charlie’s story is part of a community initiative called Path to Pride. Funded by the United Way Ottawa and Ottawa’s Capital Pride, the initiative was launched on Aug. 8 and aims to share stories from Ottawa’s LGBTQ+ community, as well as raise funds to support kids, families and seniors on their journeys. Community members are also invited

to share their own personal journeys to pride, using the hashtag #PathtoPride.

Over the past five years, the United Way has invested more than $400,000 in LGBTQ+ programs, including the Ten Oaks Project, Family Services Ottawa and the Ottawa Senior Pride Network to address challenges including discrimination (homophobia and transphobia) and bullying, a need

Up to 80,000 expected at GreekFest, Aug. 11 to 21 Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

GreekFest will leave attendees feeling far from Ottawa without having to leave home, Aug. 11 to 21.

“You just feel like for those 11 days you are part of a culture that we all hold true to our heart,” said Eleni Dellis, general manager of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa.

“And for those 11 days we kind of feel like we are taken back to Greece. We have the Greek food, we have the Greek music, we have the Greek entertainment and everyone is feeling very festive.”

From when the gates open to the time they close, musicians will be there to entertain. For much of that time, the sounds of the festival will blend with some traditional dancing and other entertainment.

Anywhere between 60,000 and 80,000 people are expected to attend this year’s festival, said Dellis. It is located at 1315 Prince of Wales

Dr., between Baseline Road and Meadowlands Drive.

The festival takes place each year around Aug. 15; it’s a day commemorating the Virgin Mary, for whom the Greek Orthodox Church is named. That day hosts the official opening ceremonies, beginning at 12:30 p.m. and followed by an Olympic torch lighting ceremony.

The festival first started as just a one or two day celebration, then in 1975 it took off, said Dellis. Now, it’s an 11day rain or shine party.

The festival operates on an “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” policy, Dellis said, adding festival favourites such as the food and entertainment are staples.

The tented area showing off lambs roasted on spits is something people are always attracted to, she said. Food at the festival includes souvlakis, gyros, greek poutine and roasted lamb and desserts ranging from baklava – a thin pastry stacked and topped with honey, sugar, cinnamon and nuts – to milopita – an apple cake.

The festival is bringing in a new band from Montreal for this year. Alexandros will perform Aug. 14 to Aug. 17.

There will be church tours in English and French, Greek language lessons, the popular Zorba dance show, olive oil tastings, Greek mythology seminars, dance groups and more.

She added the change will be more efficient and better for festival goers.

“On our very busy days we have line-ups that literally go right down Prince of (For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016) Wales, so we are trying to make ourselves better and Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 2:30 pm more efficient.”

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Police divers recover young drowning victim in Ottawa River John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Constance Bay’s idyllic beach has a dangerous side.

That was driven home on Aug. 5 when a 10-year-old boy from a family visiting the area from Toronto drowned in its waters.

Ottawa Police report the boy got into trouble while wading in the Ottawa River off the Point beach just before 4 p.m. The boy and his 21-year-old brother separated from the family group and were walking out into the river when they came to an area where the shallow water along the sandbar suddenly drops off to a depth of about 15 feet.

The child slipped into the deep water and couldn't get back to safe ground because of the swift moving current. His elder brother attempted to assist him, but also ran into difficulties, report police. Neither boys were strong swimmers.

As the elder brother was rescued, the 10-year-old was observed to slip beneath the water.

Despite frantic efforts by those on scene, they were not able to locate him.

Several 911 calls alerted police, who with the help of Ottawa firefighters and paramedics, joined the search for the missing boy.

It soon become apparent the rescue attempts had become a recovery effort. At 10:47 p.m., the Ottawa Police Service duty inspector tweeted that the Ottawa Police dive team had recovered the body of the missing boy. “Sad and tragic incident,” concluded the message, which was retweeted by West CarletonMarch city councillor Eli ElChantiry.

The next morning El-Chantiry tweeted: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the 10-year-old drowned.

Thanks all emergency services.”

It’s a “sad day for all,” tweeted Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. The Ottawa Police sent out their “prayers and thoughts to the family.”

The death prompted calls for signs warning swimmers of the sudden drop-off and strong currents in the river off the beach.

While locals know about the

dangers, the growing number of visitors to the popular beach, which doesn't have lifeguards, often don’t.

While there hasn’t been a drowning in the area for several years, there were at least three deaths a couple of decades ago.

However, warning signs posted then are no longer maintained at the beach.

Ironically, earlier in the day, the Ottawa Police had tweeted out a warning: “Water-

Don’t underestimate the protection of a life jacket or PFD (personal flotation device).”

Police, fire and paramedics set up a search centre on the beach.

The boy’s older brother was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Ottawa Police say the name of the victim is not being released pending completion of the Regional Coroner's investigation into the incident.

The Ottawa Police West District Investigation team is conducting a parallel investigation.

LRT Walkley Station Connectivity Meeting As part of the LRT Stage 2 project which extends the Trillium Line further south, the City of Ottawa has undertaken a Stage 2 Station Connectivity Study to ensure that community connections are preserved or enhanced along the Trillium Line and at all stations.

The study outlines a series of mobility enhancements, including bicycle facilities, multi-use pathways and crosswalks. Through public consultation, the City will obtain feedback on how connections around the LRT stations can be improved. When Phase 2 of the LRT extends south, a new station will open at Walkley Road. The City of Ottawa will be hosting a public session on August 17, 2016 at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, 1265 Walkley Road. In addition to Walkley Station, the session will also examine Greenboro and South Keys stations in this review.

A small, but dedicated group of advocates made their voices heard outside of the Ontario Works office on Catherine Street on July 29.

The protest, orchestrated by Association of Community Associations for Reform Now, was an attempt to get the province to increase the employment income before the money is clawed back from Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program clients.

Blaine Cameron, who is on a

“The assistance keeps people at poverty levels and has an impact on health,” Cam-

eron said.

Luckily Cameron receives help from family members, he said or he would be in a tough situation.

“I wouldn’t be able to eat as healthy as I do now,” he said, adding a lot of ODSP clients have degenerative diseases that aren’t helped by the unhealthy diets they have because of a lack of money to spend on things like fresh produce.There’s another protest planned for Ottawa West MPP Bob Chiarelli’s constituency office on Aug. 29.

The group also plans to send a petition to Premier Kathleen Wynne.

“That’s nearly 70 per cent of my income,” he said, adding that any money he makes after the first $200 to top his monthly allowance will be clawed back by the province. Advocates want the amount raised to $800 before the province starts to reduce the monthly benefit amount.

Cameron says the change will be an incentive for OW and ODSP clients to work, and be better for the economy, since they will be able to purchase things.

“The province says increasing the employment income before claw back would be a disincentive to work, but that just doesn’t make sense,” he said, adding if clients were able to find work to supplement their income, they

Walk through LeBreton Flats’ past on Sunday Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

It may look like a fenced construction site now, but for an hour-and-a-half on Aug. 14 the public will be guided through LeBreton Flats to revisit what it once was.

Hugh Daechsel, principal and senior archaeologist with Golder Inc., will be guiding a tour of what was once the Aubrey Row House, Firth Tavern, St. Famille School and Occidental Hotel, as part of archaeology month.

It’s proven to be a popular tour, this being the third time Daechsel has offered it for Heritage Ottawa. Each time it attacts about 30 to 40 people.

Daechsel has first-hand knowledge of the archaeological investigations that

have taken place at the site over the past 15 years. His favourite finds have been in the hotel and the basements of the Row House, which was destroyed during a fire that swept through the area around 1900.

“We actually uncovered some of the remains of the barrels that were in the basement and the apparatus that was used to draw the beer from the barrels into the bar,” said Daechsel.

There were other charred remains as well.

“We even found the charred remains of some potatoes from the other end.”

A lot of the finds were glass or ceramic and a lot were personal effects, which help archaeologists piece together what the community and the people “That was way to easy!”

who lived there were like.

“For me, it was really interesting to see the different types of artifacts we found from the different basements that we excavated.

It helped characterize the tenants that resided in the house,” he said.

Working on LeBreton Flats gave Daechsel a rare opportunity to work on several sites within the same concentrated area, allowing him to put many of the puzzle pieces together.

The tour he will lead will focus on what was learned through those excavations, as well as the history of the area, the archaeological process and how items are recorded.

Daechsel will be navigating around the fencing, something he’s done on his other tours as well, and will adapt the tour based on the

current conditions of the site.

“Some of them we won’t directly access because of the fencing for the work

Coalition recomendations follow in wake of Abdi death

A coalition is calling for acknowledgement of what they say is a crisis in how police interact with members of visible minority communities and those with mental health issues.

That was one of 10 recommendations put forward by the group, called Justice for Abdirahman, at a press conference on Aug. 4.

The coalition represents Somali community members and Somali organizations in Ottawa. The coalition formed after the death of Abdirahman Abdi, a 37-year-old Somali man, who died following what witnesses say was a violent confrontation with police on the steps of his apartment building.

The confrontation is now being investigated by the Special Investigations Unit.

Police had been called multiple times to respond to a man engaging in “assaultive” behaviour at a Hintonburg coffee shop on July 24.

At the press conference, there were statements from organizations, including the African Canadian Legal Clinic, Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa, Canadian Labour Congress and Canadian Association

“It’s clear the mayor’s response is sending a message that black lives are not as valuable as others,” she said.

David Onyalo, Ottawabased director of anti-racism and human rights with the Canadian Labour Congress, added it’s time people held the mayor accountable for the city’s police service.

“My message to the mayor of Ottawa: make sure no other Abdi gets killed under your watch,” he said.

Among the other recommendations put to local, provincial and federal governments, police and police oversight agencies are: • Strike a task force to examine how police interact with members of racialized communities and those with mental health issues and commit to programs to address the systemic problems.

• Respond to the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s assertion that there isn’t an effective mechanism to hold police accountable.

• Amend legislation to ensure the SIU makes reports public until the oversight organization is overhauled.

• Reassign police officers under investigation and prohibit public interaction.

• Require all police to wear body cameras and have cameras in police vehicles.

of Somali Lawyers.

Margaret Parsons, executive director of the African Canadian Legal Clinc, listed the names of black men who died following police encounters, going back to the 1970s.

“While we look at these cases, we see a clear pattern – a black man in distress, police are called and the black man ends up dead,” Parsons said.

She said in Abdi’s case and others, race is an issue.

“Race makes the difference,” she said, adding she has little faith in the SIU’s investigation.

Mayor Jim Watson also took some heat at the event.

Several of those who spoke said the mayor attended Abdi’s funeral as a public relations stunt and photo opportunity.

“If the mayor had any backbone instead of showing up for a nice packaged photo op at Mr. Abdi’s funeral he would have already arranged a meeting with the Somali community,” Parson said.

Watson has told media he was invited to the funeral and is scheduling meetings with the Somali community.

Yamikani Msosa, public education/media co-ordinator and support worker, agreed with Parson’s state-

Ottawa River gets heritage tag John Carter and Brier Dodge john.carter@metroland.com

After more than a decade of waiting, the Ottawa River has been officially designated as a Canadian Heritage River to the delight of many politicians, tourism officials, environmentalists and history buffs.

“We’re very happy. It was long overdue … it’s very encouraging,” said Ottawa River Institute president Ole Hendrickson. “It’s great timing with Canada’s 150th celebration coming up.”

He said the heritage designation will “open the door for more tourism in this area and could help with (grant) funding.”

Hendrickson said the Ottawa River has symbolic significance in that it brings together the country’s three founding peoples – indigenous peoples, and the French and English.

He noted that a large number of people had worked for years to bring about the des-

ignation. The Ottawa Riverkeeper organization was a strong supporter and always talked it up at its gala gatherings, he said.

The former Liberal MP Len Hopkins chaired a broad-based committee that has argued for the designation since 2003, he added.

Hendrickson said its research was excellent, well documenting the historical and geographical significance of the river.

He called the designation more a celebration of history and recognition of the importance of the river rather than the implementation of new rules to protect it.

The granting of the heritage designation, rumoured since the federal Liberal government was elected last year, was proclaimed in a news release July 28.

The joint federal-Ontario announcement designating the Ontario portion of the Ottawa River as a Canadian Heritage River “for its out-

standing cultural heritage values” was made by Ontario Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Kathryn McGarry and Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, who is also the minister responsible for Parks Canada.

The government news release points out the Ottawa River travels through the heart of Algonquin land and has been used as a thoroughfare and transportation route for millennia. Known as the ‘original Trans-Canada highway’, the river was “invaluable to the economic and political growth of the region during the fur and timber eras and continues to be an essential economic engine today.”

The designation covers the entire course of the Ontario portion of the river through the Ottawa Valley and Renfrew County and all the way upriver to Lake Timiskaming and downriver to the Quebec border at East

The Ottawa River has been granted heritage status.

Hawkesbury, a length of 590 kilometres.

If, as expected, Quebec assigns its own heritage designation to its portion of the river, adding the 681 kilometres of the ‘Outaouais’ that flow entirely in Quebec, it will mean all 1,271 kilometres of the river will have heritage status.

When a river is designated, a management plan is put in place that describes voluntary actions to promote, celebrate and conserve the river.

The designation will provide communities with a platform

to promote their region and the “incredible history, nature and recreational opportunities” associated with the Ottawa River.

POSITIVE FOR PETRIE

Friends of Petrie Island chairman Al Tweddle said the announcement is “very positive” and “overdue.”

“If you’re looking at historic rivers, other than the St. Lawrence, I would think the Ottawa River would be right up there in importance,” Tweddle said. “So

we’re pleased with the announcement.”

The Friends of Petrie Island, which has a physical building at Petrie Island beach in Orléans, have some historical boards that are posted.

Tweddle hopes the designation generates more interest in the history of the river.

He’d also be happy to see that the Ottawa River’s history is highlighted at any Canada 150 celebrations that take place at the island next year.

Dixon comes home as local soccer star signs with hometown Fury FC Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Jamar Dixon has come home to the city that he brags about wherever he happens to live.

The soccer player from the Convent Glen neighbourhood of Orléans was signed by the Fury FC on July 20 after spending two years in Finland’s premier league with FF Jaro.

“I always represent Ottawa, even when I was abroad in Europe – I always talk about this city,” Dixon said.

“This city raised me. So I always give thanks to this place.”

His family and friends were out in force at TD Place on July 27 for the 27-year-old’s debut home game with the Fury, easily identified by their loud cheers every time Dixon came anywhere close to the ball at Lansdowne.

The midfielder grew up in Orléans BRIER DODGE/METROLAND and attended Cairine Wilson SecondJamar Dixon, 27, at the Ottawa Fury FC training session at ary School and Terry Fox Elementary TD Place on Aug. 4. The midfielder was signed by the Fury School.

He hasn’t played in Ottawa since in July.

his teens, as he played university soccer for the St. Francis Xavier X-Men in Nova Scotia and later signed with a club in Sweden to play professional soccer.

This winter, he was called up to the Canadian national team to be part of the squad that played against the United States in February.

The national team coaching staff, and national team member and Fury FC player Julian de Guzman, recommended Dixon to Fury FC head coach Paul Dalglish.

“Being a local player, Jamar was on our radar for a while,” Dalglish said in Fury FC press release.

Dixon said playing with the Fury creates a good environment for him to take the next step with the national team.

The move will give him more exposure to Canadian coaches, and he hopes to be invited to national team training camps in the future.

“I think history repeats itself,” he said. “You’ve just got to keep going

and be prepared for it when your time comes.”

He’s clear with his goals with the Fury.

“I want to win games,” he said.

“That’s it. I want to contribute as much as I can do to the team.”

Dixon is one of three local players now on the Fury’s roster. He joins Gatineau’s Maxim Tissot and Ottawa’s Eddie Edward – a former youth soccer rival and friend.

Dixon said exposure to the pro team for local youth is good, and something he didn’t have growing up in Ottawa.

“Now that we have the opportunity, it’s just good to give back,” he said.

“It’s good for the kids to see that they can make it as well.”

The former Ottawa St. Anthony’s and Gloucester Hornets player will next take the field with the Fury FC at home on Aug. 13 against the Jacksonville Armada FC. Youth players with local clubs that are part of the Fury Fanatics program can get free admission to the game.

Missing pie becomes a real mystery for Mother

F

ather, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door.

She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies.

“There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said. It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes!

Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flour-

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories bag tea towels.

The wonderful sweet smell followed us upstairs.

Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning!

We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once!

“He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.” She was sure hoppin’ mad.

Well, Father came in and

was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed. Mother pointed a finger at each of my three brothers, who all vowed they had never touched the berry pie.

Father had the nerve to suggest maybe Mother had put it someplace, or maybe Earl, who sometimes walked in his sleep had taken it off the bake table.

“Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said.

The day passed and there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all.

Well, the next morning, was a repeat of the morning before. Mother was yelling at the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once!

Then we saw what she was yelling about. There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickel, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten!

Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train that passed

through our farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night.

Father said the smell of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all.

He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before.

Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors! No one in Northcote locked their doors.

Ours didn’t even have a key! For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm.

He said he knew they often slept in the barn.

And they were hungry... always hungry.

Riding the rails was their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive.

After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it.

It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs. Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times.

Pet Adoptions

MEET RUPERT (ID# A188064)

Microchipping: h Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean your lost pet is returned safely to you. August 15 is National Check the Chip Day — a perfect time to get a microchip for your furry companion if they don’t already have one, or to ensure their existing chip is up to date.

A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics.

Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner

information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.

If your pet already has a microchip, be sure to update your information when you move or change your phone number.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and our next one is coming up on August 14. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for peace of mind. Dates for future OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www.ottawahumane.ca/microchip.

For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

Pet of the Week: Rupert (ID# A188064) Meet Rupert (ID# A188064), a friendly chinchilla looking for a new home with his two brothers.

Rupert and his brothers Romeo (ID# A188065) and Rodrigez (ID# A188066) have lived together their whole lives. They can often be found curled up together in their cage taking a nap.

Chinchillas like Rupert and his brothers make great pets.

They require a roomy cage and lots of healthy treats. They love to spend a few hours a day outside of their cage getting exercise and spending time with their human friends.

If you think Rupert and his brothers would make a great addition to your family, stop by the Adoption Centre and meet them today!

For more information on Rupert, Romeo, Rodrigez and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you know how to lay on the charm to get a job done, and you might need to work your magic this week. Some might scoff, but the end results will be positive.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your work ethic is recognized by superiors this week. Accept this well-earned praise, but keep working hard to maintain your reputation.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have one foot on the ground, your head seems to be up in the clouds. Make an effort to regain your focus so you can finish the tasks at hand.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Problem-solving does not interest you this week, Cancer. You just want things spelled out to you in black and white. If things become too complicated, ask for clarification.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the pressure to make decisions is easing up, and you can finally relax and focus on entertaining things. Take some time to strengthen an important relationship as well.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ideas in your head are developing so quickly that you can’t pin one down. Your creativity is a feather in your cap, so make an effort to sort out your ideas.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Decisions that seemed so easy to make just a few days ago now seem like uphill battles. Don’t sell yourself short, as you can handle the challenges ahead.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You have an ability to attract power and love, Scorpio. Make the most of this power and try to help others as much as possible. You will be glad for having done so.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, recent contributions on the job are finally getting you some special attention. Your efforts paint you as a team player, and others are taking notice.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a big decision has you mulling all of the potential outcomes.

Take a few breaths and some extra time to reevaluate your priorities in the next few days.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, beauty is everywhere if you just look for it. Pay attention to the little details that can show you the potential of others. You may be surprised at what you find.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are much more comfortable when surrounded by a close network of friends. Organize a get-together with your social circle.
